Haven’t reviewed any albums in a while, so why not review a new album I’ve been listening for the past week? Perfume’s latest album, 「⊿ (Triangle)」 hit the shelves July 8th this week, although I received it a couple days early thanks to CDJapan. It managed to debut at #1 with a good 90k+, but we’ll see how it charts by the end of the week. In the meantime, I’ll get to my review already. Read the rest of this entry »

MINORIN TICKET GET!
That’s right, I acquired my ticket to Chihara Minori’s SUMMER CAMP LIVE! \o/
I just got the August 2nd venue, but that is plenty good Minorin times for me. I’ll have to spend time with my host family after all, so I don’t want to have too much wota times during my stay. All I need to do now is find people to enjoy the concert with, since my other friend failed to get his ticket due to the circumstances…orz
And yes, AX is coming up this week. I’m more excited to be visiting friends in LA at the convention rather than the programming itself really, but I’ll be hoping to actually take pictures this time, now that I have a sexy new D90 and I won’t be too busy cosplaying. Not sure if I’ll stop by any Momusu events, but I’ll try if I get around to it. A friend of mine would really like to meet, anyhow. >__> If anyone else wants to meet at AX, er… comment or something?

Say what?
So ya’ll know about that outdoor performance Minorin is having somewhere near Fujisan with nature and all that jazz, right? Well, since it’s kind of outside civilization, the nice people in Minorin’s management decided to milk more money help guests get to the venue with a special transport bus exclusively for Minorists. Yes, you too can join your fellow sweaty wota on a roadtrip to the concert. Of course, like the concert tickets, it is also a lotto, so if you’re planning on entering the concert raffle, why not spend another 15000-some odd yen to go on the MinoriBus?
If you ask me, I’m probably just going to stick with normal transportation. But I entered the concert lotto, so wish me luck~

You may have guessed it, but it’s already here–FanimeCon 2009. Of course, the biggest thing I’m looking forward to is Halko Momoi is all her greatness and glory, with panels galore and her big concert on Sunday at 8pm. Also, *cough* a few good friends of mine are in the -renewed- Maid Cafe this year, which will feature more “authenticity” than previous years and will have a little *live event* on Stage Zero on Saturday at 2pm. Meaning, even if you don’t have a badge, you can still walk into the convention center and watch. It’s possible that Momoi may even come to watch a bit of it(!). And you may be surprised with the set list–it’s pretty epic.

And although I’ve barely touched up on VOCALOID happenings, I will host a Panel about the singing synthesizers on Sunday at 5pm with Chun. I’ll try to rush him and keep the details short, so we can all line up for the Momoi concert after the panel. :9 Other than that, I’m not really cosplaying this year as I’ve already mentioned slightly.
Regardless, see ya’ll there!
P.S. Does anyone else think it’s downright badass of Momoi to link to a Nico Singer’s blog in her own blogroll (bottom left)? I’m sure Hong Ko~ng is pretty flattered, being on the same list with the likes of Minorin and Maita. (＊＾ー＾
P.S.S. Perfume asks, What is DISCO?

Please don't say you are lazy...
As the season of anime conventions is rolls in, the time to prep your costumes is running out. Do you even have a costume this year? I don’t (well, not any new ones). In fact, I’ll probably revert to going back to normal when I’m not doing maid cafe duties. But suppose if you (like me) don’t have a costume, but (unlike me) still want to enjoy the most celebrated tradition of anime conventions, then here’s a shortlist I’ve devised with things you can wear/do to animoot yourself to fit in with the other crazy cosplayers.
